SEGMENT #1 - "NewsWrap": In the same remarkable week the parliaments of both
Canada and Spain approve full legal civil marriage equality for same gender
couples, joining the Netherlands and Belgium as the world's "fantastic four",
while the Vatican denounces the moves as "violent and direct attacks against
the family"; Pride is celebrated with colorful marches and demonstrations in
cities around the world, including Toronto, Madrid, Paris, Berlin, Athens,
Nijmegen (the Netherlands), Dublin, Lisbon, Mexico City, San Salvador, La Paz, Rio
de Janeiro, Calcutta, New York City, San Francisco, Chicago, Austin, Lansing
(Michigan), Atlanta, Honolulu, Portland (Oregon), Columbus (Ohio) and Conway
(Arkansas), but an Orthodox Jewish extremist knifes three during Jerusalem's
contested march; and a mummy unwrapped reveals secret Sapphic verses (written
by CINDY FRIEDMAN, with thanks to Graham Underhill, Rex Wockner, Linda
Farthing, and Greg Gordon, and reported this week by JON BEAUPRE & CINDY FRIEDMAN)
[10:40] + "TWO" I.D. by way "out" comedy writer/performer BRUCE VILANCH [:15].

SEGMENT #2 - Hundreds of thousands of people waving rainbow flags danced in
the sun through the streets of Madrid on July 2nd behind a banner that read,
"We Go Forward, Now For Transsexuals". It was Spain's largest-ever annual
queer pride parade, celebrating this week's parliamentary vote for marriage
equality, which officially takes effect on July 3rd. However, due to the
bureaucracy involved, activists don't expect the first marriage to take place for
several weeks.
Meanwhile, June 28th, 2005 will be remembered by CANADIAN gays and lesbians
-- the day when their parliament passed ground-breaking legislation to legalize
same gender marriage across the country there. The vote was 158-133. Eleven
courts in nine provinces and territories had already legalized marriage
equality in their respective regions, and public opinion polls now show a majority
of Canadians approve. This Way Out correspondent HEATHER KITCHING
(CITR-FM/Vancouver's "Queer FM") captures the historic moments from three perspectives:
with the patrons of a queer bar in downtown Vancouver, B.C., a gay activist in
conservative Calgary, Alberta, and a leading marriage equality lawyer at the
parliament buildings in Ottawa, Ontario; includes comments by Vancouver drag
queen JOAN E, Little Sisters' Book Store Manager JANINE FULLER, Egale Canada's
Alberta board rep STEPHEN LOCK, and the attorney from the original Ontario
provincial marriage lawsuit, MARTHA McCARTHY, with internal music from "Daughter
Don't You Marry No Guitar Picker" by CORB LUND and "The Summer is Magic" by
PLAYAHITTY (Emmanuele Asti & Stefano Carrara) [11:40] + "Love With Me" by PETER
DONNELLY (www.peterdonnelly.com) [4:10] . . . . . . . . 15:50
